The role of traditional ecological knowledge and ecosystem quality in managing ecosystem services.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ecosystem services management is not merely a scientific or economic approach, but rather a participatory and indigenous-based approach that, by integrating ecological assessments and indigenous knowledge, contributes to the sustainable and effective utilization of ecosystem services and reduces the gap between theory and practice.this study aimed to spatially link ecosystem services, traditional ecological knowledge, and ecosystem quality for optimal ecosystem services management, based on indigenous communities' preferences and ecological capacities. Eleven ecosystem services (aesthetics, nursing function, beekeeping, education, soil stability, gas control, soil stability, soil retention, medicinal plants, recreation, and water yield) were modeled in an Iranian semiarid socio-ecosystem. Field data collection, the InVEST model, and GIS technique were used to sample, map and integrate traditional ecological information and habitat quality. Additionally, a suite of direct and indirect relationships between social-ecological variables and ecosystem services were assessed using Structural Equation Modeling. The findings showed that land covers varied in their capacity to significantly deliver social-ecological quality and ecosystem services (p < 0.05). Also, cultural, provisioning, regulatory, and supporting services showed a high synergy with social-ecological quality, suggesting that social-ecological quality can be an effective proxy for ecosystem services, particularly cultural services. Results show that the most significant component influencing cultural and provisioning services was traditional ecological knowledge, while the most significant factor influencing supporting and regulating services was habitat quality. This study presented a comprehensive model for ecosystem services management which is integrated with traditional ecological knowledge of local communities to provide realistic and feasible solutions for sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
